Katelyn is currently preparing for her IBCLC exams while running her own business in South Dakota, offering craniosacral and lactation services.

About Katelyn Friedt:

Katelyn has a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene. She did a week long myofunctional training which sparked her interest in other career paths.

MINI SERIES: The Common Misconceptions About Babies

Meaghan addresses the common misconception that babies do not remember their infancy. She dives into the concept of implicit memories, the importance of recognizing infants as sentient beings with emotions, and her own experiences of talking to babies about their birth and bringing them through a series of movements to help them regenerate new neural pathways. She also shares findings by Dr. Upledger who performed hypnosis and hypno-regression on his patients with chronic untreatable pain, which oftentimes were stemming from an experience as an infant. Tune in to learn about the lasting impact of early experiences on a baby's life and get insight for approaching infant care with mindfulness!
